The foremost question of the day
is probably, "Poyerty--its cause and
destruction"
A writer in 1.-THE Forum con-
tributes as his belief that whether
the wealth Of the world is in five
hundred hands or scattered world
wide, doesn't alter the facts of
poverty, that envy dictates the war
against enormous fortunes: and then
gives as the forgotten cause of
poverty" "the improvidence of the
poor in not saving money" He
takes 81 day as the basis of wages
and AYERS the possibility of a city
man of family saving $50 a year on
that. Besides this central IMPROVE
dence, he alleges "improvidence" in
seeking reputation as good workmen,
in watching for opportunities, and
in neglect of knowledge.
1t will seem to most people con-
sidering these causes that they prove
too much. Edmund Burke said: "a
conscientious person would rather
doubt his own judgment, than con-
denim his species, He that accuses
al mankind of corruption, ought to
remember that he is sure to convict
only one"
Laying aside for the moment the
causes ofpoverty as appropriateness"
are the great fortunes the result of
"proyidence'? Few of the gigantic
fortunes of the present day in this
country are either the result of ac-
cumulating savings or in the pos
session of men of thrifty economi-
cal habits. Spcculations turning
out fortunate cover most of them.
Quotation is often made, as by
this writer, to the Bible injunction.
THE poor ye have with you always"
to show that poverty is normal
condition, This bears evidence on
its face Of mistaken Interpretation,
for either the poor there referred to
are those to whom the offices of
charity are owed, or the world must
be looked at as universal poor
house.
The cause of poverty must be
found deeper than these. One direc-
ton to look for light on it is in the
increase of wants brought about by
intellectual advancement.
Poverty is relatives and that of to-
day, almost to the meanest hovel, is
far less in naked fact, than that Of
persons of moderate circumstances
in the 10th Century. The wide,
spread knowledge of possible com
forts has brought the widespread
desire not for part of them, bnt all
of them.

The Canadian Pacific Finds Way to
Pa alyZe Section Four.
WASHINGTON, May 20.-A decision will
probably soon be rendered at the Treas
ury Department which will be Of equal
interest to shippers, consumers and rail-
road companies. For a considerable
period the Canadian Pacific Railroad
Company has been endeavoring to OBJ
tain from the Treasury Department per-
mission to bond goods on the
steamship line which runs from San
Fran cisco to Port Moody, the western
terminus of the Canadian Pacific railroad
system. The importance of such an or
der will be seen when it is understood
that goods shipped in bond from San
Francisco to Port Moody could be car
ried under the same bond to any place
within the United States over the Cana
dian Pacific Railroad. The permission
to bond goods over this line, therefore
is, in effect, permission TO the Canadian
Pacific to transport merchandise from
the Pacific coast to any desired point in
the United States at such rates as it may
fix. The advantages of such route to
shippers, especially if at the expiration
Of the term of suspension the fourth Sec
ton of the Interstate commerce act is
to be put into effect on the transconti-
mental roods, will be best understood
by the shippers themselves. Those who
represent the Canadian Pacific Road are
confident that permission to bond this
steamship line will be obtained in few
0ays

Three Years of Disaster in Central New
York.
Utica, N. Y, May ia gloomy feel.
ing pervades the hop districts Of Central
New York. Two years ago the grower
hardly realized enough from his hops to-
paylthe cost of raising. Those who
profted materially were they who were
able to hold their product for the better
price, which came year later Last
year the crop was almost an entire fail
ure. Two years of misfortune brought
distress to many and failure to more
than few. A third year of disaster
means ruin to still greater number and
the uniform report by hop farmers is that
a third bad year is before them. One
of the largest growers in the vicinity
of Waterville says that i'll what
has been his best yards one
hill in ten is dead. Of the remaining
nine, perhaps two give promise Of vigor-
Gus vines. The others present a fuzzy
appearance, indicating absence of vital
ity. ''Those hills" he adds, g will yield
no hops. The outlook is very bad all
around us, as bad as it well could be.
Many of us are putting the pillow in and
will try something in place of hops. The
conditions are equally bad in the por-
tons Of Madison County from which re-
ports are received. In the vicinity of
Morrisville the pillow has been put into

FROM a statement just issued by the
treasury department the total income
of the government from all sources in
the eleven months just ended OF the
fiscal year has been $3O2,79S, 600, as
compared with 1915, $4,000 in the
same period Of the previous fs-
cal year. This, too, is an Indication
of the great activity in general trade
which the country is now experience
ing. The people are spending much
more money than they did a year
ago, and alarge part Of this increased
expenditure goes for the purchase of
foreign goods.

Skipped With the Funds,

Commotion was caused among the mem
bers of the Clan-na-Gael in New York and
Brooklyn on the 18th by the report that
one of the leading officers had gone away
with $4,000 of society funds. It was
stated that he was O. native OF Kentucky
and recently went to Brooklyn from Louis

he had not defaulted bat had gone on q
secret mission to England with the funds
collected for the purpose. The executive
board has tried to keep the matter quiet.

they contributed their money, but never
had any reports showing what was done

A PHILADELPHIA company has just
completed four palatial sleeping
cars, replete with every modern lux
ury, but, strange to say, they are
drawn by horses instead of by more
modern motive power. This connect
ing link between the railroad sleeper
and the antiquated stage-coach owes
its origin to the scarcity of coal and
the abundance of horse flesh in the
heart ofthe Argentine Republic, and it
will be interesting to note how the ex-
pertinent succeeds.
